He laughed. "Calm down, first of all being a Warlord is just my Caste. I think you're confusing it with being Aristo, which I also am and also doesn't matter. Because you're a friend. Status like that doesn't matter with friends. And she's actually higher than I am both as an Aristo and in Caste, but she also prefers to be informal with her friends."

He was quite amused, honestly. "The only ones who might object to you telling her what to not do will pull back those objections when they hear WHAT it is you're telling her not to do. You don't serve her, so she's less likely to growl at you over it. Honestly it'll probably be me she'll go hissy cat at."
